The Georgia Tech Catholic Center is able to offer adoration with a break for Mass/Communion Service at 5:30 pm each day at many different times throughout the week. Those are Monday 6 am – 10pm, Tuesday 6 am – 4pm and then 6 pm – 11pm, Wednesday 6 am – 5pm and then 7 pm – 11 pm, Thursday 6 am – 5pm, and Friday is 6 am – 5 pm. This amazing service helps so that students have the opportunity to visit Jesus Christ whenever time may be available in their schedule. If you would like to sign up for a weekly Holy Hour in which you can help us provide this opportunity again please contact me, Kevin Thompson at liturgy@gtcatholic.org
The Outreach Pillar of the CSO focuses primarily on getting members involved in spiritual and corporeal works of mercy according to the Catholic Church. Within the Outreach pillar are sub-pillars that coordinate service events for our Elderly & Sick Ministry, Pro-life Ministry, Homeless Ministry, and On-Campus Outreach.
There are tons of ways to get involved in any of these ministries! For our elderly/sick outreach, we visit cancer patients at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) once a month on Sunday to play games, sing, and talk with the patients. Our pro-life pillar seeks to promote the sanctity of life at all stages on campus. Involvement in this ministry can range from protesting outside an abortion clinic to helping make care packages for pregnancy crisis centers. For the homeless ministry, we’ve made sandwiches for the Atlanta Union Mission and helped serve lunch at St. Francis’ Table. Lastly, the On-Campus outreach pillar works closely with the FOCUS missionaries to promote a catholic presence and spread the love of Christ on campus through tabling on Skiles Walkway with the missionaries.
Looking to learn more about your faith and grow deeper in your relationship with Christ? The Faith Formation pillar offers a variety of programs to help you on this path.

At the Georgia Tech Catholic Center, we have five full-time FOCUS missionaries on campus! FOCUS provides weekly men’s and women’s Bible studies on campus where students can dive into the mystery of Christ’s love found in sacred Scripture within small-group communities. No matter who you are or where you are in your walk with Christ, you can find a Bible study to suit you based on your academic year, your involvement in Greek life, or your athletic team. Bible studies led by both students and missionaries take place every day of the week, so you can easily find one that fits your schedule. Email us at focus@gtcatholic.org to learn more about Bible studies!
Every Tuesday morning from 11 to 12, the FOCUS missionaries have a table on Skiles walkway to engage with students on campus and to advertise upcoming Catholic Center events. Come find us during that hour to hang out and join us in reaching out to your fellow college students!
Meet in the basement of the Catholic Center on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm to gather in fellowship and study the word of God with your fellow Grad Students and Young Adult Professionals. For more information follow this link.
